The owner of this Daycare Ms Candy is the meanest person I have ever met and lies to the parents who are on government subsidy. We were receiving a childcare subsidy from the State of Indiana and she was receiving the full amount every week. At the end of November, she told me that the subsidy was cut and now I have to pay $45 dollars out of pocket. I checked the records 2 weeks after from the state and found out that she receiving in fact, the full payment from Indiana $210 dollars. On top of that, she charged me $210 at the end of August telling me that I wasn't approved yet and Indiana didn't reimburse her. Well, records showed that she received $234 from the government and $210 from me on top of that. I contacted the State and informed them, and they launched an investigation on this daycare. On the last day I came to pick up my daughter, I mentioned to her that the State confirmed she was paid the full amount and she owes me refund, she started screaming that she is not going to give me anything and she doesn't care about the State people I talked to and started pushing me right in front of the kids and her employees, when I tried to explain what the State told me. I could tell by the rage in her eyes, she would kill me if she could. She kicked us out, and said to not come back, because I was asking for my valid refund. This person needs some anger management therapy asap. She should not care for children. I am sure she screams and spanks kids thats why there are no cameras. The employees were apalled by what was going on. They couldn't believe the unprofessional and violent behavior they were seeing from the owner herself. She was screaming at me because I asked about the refund and mentioned the State. I immediately went to the Dyer Police to file a report that she was getting physical with me in front of the little kids she is in care of. This place needs to be audited, because she is cooking her books by fraudulently charging the parents who receives a child care assistance and receiving full government subsidy on top of that. Obviously, I am not the only one. Carrie Gray, the representative from the State called her the same day and Ms Candy said that she will in fact send me refund within 2 days, which I seriously doubt. I cannot fathom how this ignorant and dishonest, full of rage and hatred person can be the owner of the daycare. I will post on every agency and social media about how I was treated and lied to. Please, go somewhere else for childcare if you care about your kids' wellbeing. This place is a rut.
FYI: At the beginning, I saw a caregiver scream at a little baby "Stop!" and told Ms Candy, to which she said, this baby is not that small, he is already 15 months. Obviously, it's Ok for her to mistreat and abuse a little toddler, who can't even talk or walk yet and is at the mercy of this disgruntled owner.
The owner is a very cold, very mean woman. She's rude not only toward parents but barks out orders at children too. The reason we took my son here was due to the other instructors, who we liked.
The toys are very old and the center looks like it hasn't been updated in three decades. Nothing about this center is even from this century. Logs are old old old copies of papers and are hard to read. Schedules are written out and confusing. Meals aren't posted when they should be. Children are denied naps when they're tired. The center is cluttered and the preschool-aged children are CONSTANTLY running into cubbies and furniture.
After leaving this center last year and enrolling my son in another daycare, I now see just how out-of-date the center is and out-of-touch the owner is. I would not recommend this center to anyone.
